Mercedes-Benz premieres at IAA Mobility: Maybach SL 680, AMG GT XX EV concept and EQS 580

At IAA Mobility, Mercedes-Benz rolled out a wide slate of premieres—from a sumptuous Maybach to cutting-edge AMG electric concepts.

The headliner was the Mercedes-Maybach SL 680 Monogram Series, powered by a 4.0‑liter V8 with 585 hp and 800 Nm. It clocks 0–100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, and pricing in Germany starts at €255,000. A lavish roadster that doesn’t shy away from performance, it sets the tone for the brand’s luxury halo.

Looking ahead, the Mercedes-AMG GT XX Concept showcases the brand’s electric ambitions on the new AMG.EA architecture. The coupe uses three motors for a combined 1,360 hp, reaches 360 km/h, and offers up to 400 km of WLTP range. Fast charging replenishes the battery in five minutes. The figures are designed to grab attention—and they do—signaling how seriously Affalterbach treats its EV era.

Among the production EVs, the Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 4MATIC took the spotlight. With a 118 kWh battery, the sedan delivers 544 hp, sprints to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, and covers up to 742 km on a single charge. It’s a reminder that long-range comfort remains a core Mercedes value even as the lineup electrifies.

For those still loyal to gasoline, the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+ brings a 4.0‑liter V8 with 612 hp, a 0–100 km/h time of 3.2 seconds, and a 317 km/h top speed. It underscores that the brand isn’t abandoning its high-octane roots.

The new Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 4MATIC+ Limited Edition also drew interest. Its inline-six delivers 449 hp and a 0–100 km/h run in 4.2 seconds, a blend that keeps everyday usability while serving up classic AMG bite.

In short, Mercedes-Benz is committing to both ultra-modern EVs and traditional AMGs, giving customers a real choice between innovation and classic driving thrills.
